Blog Post: TimingLogic: Ten Year Bond Rates Drop 20% In Less Than A Month

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 07:28 PM PDT

The world is endlessly amusing. If incompetence can be captured in a picture, this is it. The seemingly consistently wrong comments of the world's largest bond fund's chief prognosticator has graced this blog numerous times. It was literally when ten year bond yields were 20% higher a month ago that he wrote rates were headed even higher with a return to inflation. Got to give it to him. He...

Published / Preprint: Perturbative Expansion Technique for Non-linear FBSDEs with Interacting Particle Method. (arXiv:1204.2638v1 [q-fin.CP])

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:32 PM PDT

In this paper, we propose an efficient Monte Carlo implementation of non-linear FBSDEs as a system of interacting particles by developing a variant of marked branching diffusion method. It will be particularly useful to investigate large and complex systems, and hence it is a good complement of our previous work presenting an analytical perturbation procedure for generic non-linear FBSDEs. There...

Published / Preprint: Optimal portfolios in commodity futures markets. (arXiv:1204.2667v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We consider portfolio optimization in futures markets. We model the entire futures price curve at once as a solution of a stochastic partial differential equation. The agents objective is to maximize her utility from the final wealth when investing in futures contracts. We study a class of futures price curve models which admit a finite-dimensional realization. Using this, we recast the portfolio...

Published / Preprint: Drift dependence of optimal order execution strategies under transient price impact. (arXiv:1204.2716v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We give a complete solution to the problem of minimizing the expected liquidity costs in presence of a general drift when the underlying market impact model has linear transient price impact with exponential resilience. It turns out that this problem is well-posed only if the drift is absolutely continuous. Optimal strategies often do not exist, and when they do, they depend strongly on the...

Published / Preprint: Robust Strategies for Optimal Order Execution in the Almgren-Chriss Framework. (arXiv:1204.2717v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:32 PM PDT

Assuming geometric Brownian motion as unaffected price process $S^0$, Gatheral & Schied (2011) derived a strategy for optimal order execution that reacts in a sensible manner on market changes but can still be computed in closed form. Here we will investigate the robustness of this strategy with respect to misspecification of the law of $S^0$. We prove the surprising result that the strategy...

Published / Preprint: Optimal execution and price manipulations in time-varying limit order books. (arXiv:1204.2736v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 05:32 PM PDT

This paper focuses on an extension of the Limit Order Book (LOB) model with general shape introduced by Alfonsi, Fruth and Schied. Here, the additional feature allows a time-varying LOB depth. We solve the optimal execution problem in this framework for both discrete and continuous time strategies. This gives in particular sufficient conditions to exclude Price Manipulations in the sense of...
